Gold Sinks
Not that the removal of re-traiting and repair costs should have that much of an impact, but it got me thinking a bit about gold sinks. In short, what are the largest remaining gold sinks in the game? Waypoint costs? Ascended Crafting? Gems? Just curious where the largest ones are.
Trading Post fees.
By a HUGE margin.

Yeah, can’t believe I forgot about that for a moment. You think TP fees are big enough that they trump all other sinks?

Yes. Millions of transactions occur every single day, each one draining 15% of the item price from the gold supply.
